Final Stretch: Expectations for Vlad Jr. with Jim Duquette & Madison Shipman
Friday, 11 September, 2026
Jeff and Kevin are joined by MLB Network Radio's and former Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets manager Jim Duquette (1:22) to get his thought on the Blue Jays designating Jesús Sánchez for assignment after being with the team majority of the season, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s decline this year and the lack of home run power compared to 2025, who will sneak into the last AL Wild Card spot, if Bo Bichette would opt out of his contract after his first year with New York, what Pete Alonso has brought to the Orioles, and who should dictate Shohei Ohtani's future in both pitching and hitting for 2027 season. Then, Blue Jays Central analyst Madison Shipman (26:00) weighs in on the Jays moving Sánchez, how the team should attack their former teammate Chris Bassitt, expectation for Vladdy in the final 15 games, what has stood out to her from Brett Bateman's swing, how dangerous Spencer Miles' sinker is, and how can Dylan Cease overcome his velocity dipping.
